Description

Still red from Valtellina Superiore DOCG in Lombardy, 13.5% ABV, produced by Ar.Pe.Pe. 100% Nebbiolo. 0.75L bottle, 2022 vintage. A wine born from the passion of a family of winemakers who have been cultivating Nebbiolo in Valtellina for over 150 years, a unique area where everything is still handmade. Maceration for 106 days in 50hl wooden vats. Aged for 15 months in 50hl vats and barrels, concrete, and bottle. This wine's name comes from the blend of grapes from two estate vineyards located in the Grumello area. In vintages where the less pronounced tannins suggest a brief aging in large barrels, Valtellina Superiore Grumello Rocca De Piro DOCG surprises with its rapid drinkability.
